1. perhaps homeowner's SA was lacking as someone saw them or he bragged about leave their firearm in his vehicle.
2. perhaps the homeowner should left well enough alone after notifying the Sheriff instead of approaching an individual armed with a crowbar...
3. perhaps, just perhaps, two individuals would not have been murdered in his drive way!
